An actual egg or yolk doesn’t contain a baby chicken. Just as in humans, the eggs must be fertilized with sperm in order to produce a chick. The yolk itself serves as a food source for the embryo as it develops, that’s why chickens eating their eggs is actually quite common. The eggs we eat are not fertilized and will not produce a chick.

Wait, I always though sunny-side up was supposed to mean upside-down… but then that’s apparently “over easy”… except when THAT refers to “folded over” and not “flipped over”… gah!

Eggs: delicious but confusing.

The comic is great though, nicely executed and looks brilliant as usual. The joke works, but it’s not likely to make the top 10… but that just speaks to the quality of previous work, since the bar has been set pretty darn high. Also, I like that the chicken there appears to be a rooster.

This isn’t cannibalism because eggs or their yolks don’t contain any part of a developing chick. The insides of an egg are actually what the embryo would eat if the egg were to be fertilized. Eggs from the store aren’t fertilized.
